No idea if this will work, but over on Cake Stop on Bike Radar, we had freewheeling discussions on just about everything newsworthy, and often they all merged into one big lively thread, as so often news stories overlap. Sometimes messy, mostly good-humoured, short shrift given to insults, invective, or trolls (not fed). Rarely any emojis (or at least only to wind up certain emoji-phobic posters).
In all seriousness, it was one of my primary sources of breaking news: you could guarantee if something somewhere had happened, one of the Cake Stop crew would post something, and there would be a really useful discussion, mostly free of partisan bias, but reflecting personal perspectives of the varied posters. Always helpful for trying to make sense of a chaotic world, listening to the opinions of people who are also trying to make sense of the chaos in real time.
And since we've been kind of put on notice to keep Cake Stop stream-of-consciousness debates away from the main site, here goes.
